Are there any scientists beyond the ones I have met around here?

Specifically, anyone willing to design a dehydration gun or lend it temporarily?

I am interested in doing an experiment in the name of science. I will be in the library for a brief time.

You require more nutritious food than what is provided in the cafeteria, correct?

Yeah, who doesn't? My question to you is where are you going to get it since it's removed?

Farming or replication.

[He laughs. He's heard of these things, but he's never seen a farm on any of the floors.]

Cute. As far as the replication part is concerned, I really DON'T want to know how you plan to pull that off.

[ Oh, ye of little faith... ]

It is not that hard and neither is splicing.

My dear, that would take months to complete and if you haven't noticed, the meadow is a bit shallow to use for that kind of demand.

The harvest would take years to have a successful crop that would feed all of us. By the time you are finished, you would have to rotate the crops to keep them from turning the soil into useless dirt.

Aside from that, where are going to get the seeds? The first year alone would barely yield enough to feed ten people for a few weeks providing that you have the time and manpower to tend to the crops daily. It's not a plant and grow process.

Please do not put words in to my mouth. I am aware of the deficiency in suitable land for farming, as well as how our administrators like to assume what we would like as far as food is concerned - especially with the recent menu in the cafeteria.

I am merely looking out for other people in this tower as I do not require sustenance, and if push comes to shove, would you rather be trying to get necessary supplies or starve and eventually die from hunger?

Where have I said anything anywhere that made you think that I was doing such a thing? I'm merely pointing out the time that it would take to grow a successful crop. That's all. I have made no assumptions nor said that you said this or that.

Perhaps you need to work on your comprehension skills, silly woman. I think you assume too much on what our captors think we like or dislike. Have you asked them? There are monsters about that can be killed for meat.
